Isaiah 47:2

Babylon would need to do servile work, grinding meal by rotating a millstone (cf. Exodus 11:5; Job 31:10; Matthew 24:41). She should remove her veil, which she, as an upper-class lady, had worn previously to hide her beauty from commoners. Removing her veil would disgrace her. She should also take off her long skirt and uncover her legs, so she could work in the fields, and wade through the irrigation ditches of the rivers. She would become not only a beggar (Isaiah 47:1), but a servant.
